sunday road race

Today was another race, a small 7mile circuit with more than 6 steep hills on it one of them being over 1km. The race was a small race with low numbers. the field was split at about half way with my team mate Tim and one other guy.

We kept the pace high and road around to the final lap with everyone taking on there share of the work load. i was trying to set up the win for my team mate but with only the three of us what ever was said could be herd by the other guy, in this case Tim did not want the other guy to know that his bike for the last two laps wasn't going into the big chainring. I had no idea that this was the case so when time was going off the front of us he would wait for us to catch up, it wasn't till after the race that i found out. It would have been a perfect set up. Tim was supposed to ride off the front and i would just sit and mark the guy that was with me and make him do all the work, if he caught Tim i would counter attack and we would do this until the guy cracked. It didn't work out and came down to a sprint which i won. i am pleased with my progress and am looking forward to the big races.

Hey Bro,

Good on you for kicking some ass... Have you heard from Northey? I'm dreading you guys getting back to NZ - no ride or race will be easy! Keep up the good work. Cheers Sammo
